I'm against blaming Islam per se. Religion has any excuse to any taste, you can tweak it the way you want.

I agree with what you're saying to some degree, but it's very complex. Your conclusion seems to be overly simplistic to me. Let me give you an example. Let's say a local governor declared a war on local mafia and started more intense prosecution of the criminals. So, when being asked, why had those criminals murdered people, they would claim their victims threatened their families, so it was their family thing ("cosa nostra") to punish the offenders. So, based on those claims, would you really believe that the family values is a wrong thing to believe in?
